Clinical Counselling at Alliance
Clinical counselling uses mental health counselling values and methods to help patients understand their needs and concerns, supporting self-growth, relationships, life transitions, spirituality, and mental health. Services span individuals, couples, families, and groups, and include clinical teaching, organizational consulting, and crisis intervention. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — a short-term technique for changing thought patterns — is commonly used to reduce stress, cope with relationships, process grief, and manage other life challenges.
Your visit
Starting clinical counselling at Alliance
What to expect
A first counselling appointment is a chance to explain what brings you in, ask about the counsellor’s approach and discuss what you would like support with. Ask about confidentiality and its limits, session format and whether the fit feels right for you.
Getting ready
You can bring questions or a few goals, but you do not need a prepared story. Confirm whether the appointment is in person or virtual and whether your plan covers your selected counsellor’s designation.
Appointments and billing
Choose your practitioner and appointment type on Jane to check current fees, lengths and availability. Contact reception to confirm direct billing and any plan requirements before your visit.
Insurance and ICBC informationYour clinical counselling questions
How do I choose a counsellor at Alliance?
Read the counsellor profiles above and consider their stated approach and areas of practice. Check appointment options and contact reception if you need help finding the right booking link.
Can I check whether counselling is covered by my plan?
Yes. Ask your insurer which professional designations are eligible and confirm your selected counsellor’s designation before booking. Coverage and direct billing are separate questions.
Is counselling at Alliance a crisis service?
Routine counselling appointments are scheduled through Jane. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than waiting for a booking.
How long is an appointment and what does it cost?
Appointment lengths and fees vary by practitioner and appointment type. Check your selected appointment on Jane or ask reception for the current fee and length before confirming. No single clinic-wide price applies to every service.
Do I need a referral to book?
Ask reception about requirements for your selected appointment. Your insurer or funding program may have separate referral or documentation rules, so confirm those before your visit.
Is direct billing available for this appointment?
Direct billing depends on the service, practitioner, insurer and your plan. Ask reception to confirm your specific arrangement; you may be responsible for any amount your plan does not pay.
